I had the pleasure of recently sitting on a panel with Mario Zepponi, BMO and Tom Barber, SBJ Capital at the ACG San Francisco M&A Conference in Napa, discussing the current state of the wine industry and the resulting impact on the M&A market. Plenty of challenges currently facing the market with wholesalers and retailers destocking, decreasing wine consumption in the U.S. and intensified anti-alcohol narrative. However, with challenges comes opportunity and the necessity for change and collaboration. Thanks to Tom, Lori Bell from Eide Bailly and the ACG organizers for including us in their terrific event.
We're still inspired and energized by last month's incredible M&A West event. Nearly 400 M&A professionals from around the country came together to network, launch deals, learn, and enjoy Napa. Relive M&A West with us, and mark your calendars for the next great ACG San Francisco event: https://lnkd.in/dabEAPe Thank you, thank you, thank you to the incredible sponsors, winemakers, committee members, and, of course, the attendees!
